The author is perfectly correct abt all that he has said. I wonder why he says all this though. We have always been a cowardly nation, we bribe our own gods for favours, corruption is our birthright. Let us not blame the politicians for our sitaution, we are ourselves at fault. Why blame poor Sonia ? We have given her her current position, same for laloo and jayalalitha. Our godmen have never led this country, they are only interested in themselves and their empires.
